Multiple bags assembly and stand for it

ABSTRACT

A multiple bags assembly and a fitting receiving stand or can is described. The bags have holes and ribbons knotted through the holes to keep the bags and the holes aligned together respectively before they are mounted on the can. The can has hooks upon which the bags assembly—through its holes—is mounted. After mounting the bags assembly on the can/stand, the ribbons are cut and removed. A flat rim on the can is covered by the mounted bags and prevents garbage from falling into the space between the bags assembly and the can/stand. When the inner bag is full and pulled out, the hooks with the curvature and/or bulging keep the rest of the assembly inside the can or stand. The next bag in line is then ready to receive a new load of filling. When this bag is full, it is removed and so forth until the last bag of the assembly is utilized and removed. Then a new assembly is mounted and the process of utilization starts anew etc. etc.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Though multiple bags nested in each other in sequence have beendescribed, features to prevent the whole assembly from popping out, whenthe inner bag (the full one) is removed out, have not. The purpose ofthis invention is to provide a multiple bag assembly (two bags or more)with means to hold the assembly together, and when the full inner bag isremoved, there are means to hold the rest of the bags inside their stand(or can). These features could be utilized for garbage bags, supermarketbags, sink bags etc.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS OF THE INVENTION

FIG. 1 represents one embodiment of the stand of the invention—in theform of a can—upon which the multiple bag assembly of the invention ismounted.

FIG. 2 represents one embodiment of the multiple bags assembly of theinvention in the form of two bags nested one inside the other—to bemounted on the stand of the invention.

Please refer to FIGS. 1 and 2.

The invention includes a multiple bags stand 1 in FIG. 1 and multiplebags—, nested one inside the other in sequence—2 in FIG. 2. The stand(in a form of a can in this embodiment) has hooks 3, 4, 5, 6 in FIG. 1constructed on the outer edge of rim 7. The hooks include small bugling8. It also has a conventional foot-activated automatic lid 9 opener—10.Multiple bags 11 and 12 in FIG. 2 are nested in sequence one inside theother, that is two bags or more nested in sequence. In other words theembodiment in FIG. 2 includes two bags—one is nested inside the other.Other embodiments could include up to fifty (or even more) bags nestedin sequence—one inside the previous one. The bags have holes 14, 15, 16,17 close to the upper edge (opening) of the bags. Before mounting thebags on the stand, a ribbon 13 with a knot holds the multiple bagsaligned together. Knots over more than one hole (i.e. through holes 14and/or 15 and/or 16 and/or 17) that will hold all the bags of theassembly aligned together are optional. The hooks and the stand could bemade of plastic or metal.

Mode of Operation:

The multiple bags assembly is mounted on the can (or stand) by insertingthe bags assembly through holes 14, 15, 16, 17 on hooks 3, 4, 5, 6. Thehooks will hold the bags assembly open, when the rest of the bags 2 inFIG. 2 are being pushed deeply into can 1 in FIG. 1. After thisinsertion the ribbon(s) is cut off. Then, the ribbons are needed nomore, because now the assembly is being held by the hooks. The mostinner bag 12 is now ready to receive (garbage or grocery or etc.). Whenthe inner bag 12 is full, it is separated from the rest of the assemblyand is taken out of the hooks 3, 4, 5, 6. The purpose of making thehooks and/or the bulging is to overcome the situation whereas the secondbag in sequence will stick to the first (inner)-12 that is being removedand comes out too. By pulling the full inner bag 12 in a spiral upwarddirection, even if the rest of the bags stick to the one being removed,the bulging 8 and/or the curvature of the hooks 18 will keep the rest ofthe assembly inside the can. The purpose of placing the hooks—andconsequently the open edge of the bags—on the outer edge of rim 7 is toprevent the garbage from falling accidentally into the space between thecan and the bags.

The advantage of this constellation is of course to avoid placing thebags one at a time on the stand/can, but rather placing all of them (theassembly of two bags or more) once. When the full inner bag is removed,the next in-sequence is automatically ready to receive the filling(garbage, grocery etc.) and so forth, until all the bags of the assemblyhave been utilized. After the last bag of an assembly has been utilizedand removed, a new assembly of bags can be mounted on the stand ready tobe used, and so on. These features save time, labor, is very convenientand practical.

1. Multiple bags assembly in which one bag is nested inside thefollowing one in sequence and means to enable mounting of said assemblyon a fitting stand. Said means could be holes through all the bagsassembly. Said holes placed in close proximity to the outer/upper edgeof the bags assembly. Said mounting means could be also handles attachedto each bag of the assembly.
 2. Stand/can with a flat rim having hooksat the outer edge of the rim.
 3. Claim 2 and bulging on the vertical armof the hooks.
 4. Claim 1 and a ribbon(s) to be inserted through ahole(s) and knotted, thus holding all the bags of the assembly alignedtogether before mounting of the assembly of bags on a stand.
 5. Claim 1and a ribbon in each or less holes (or handles) in the bags of theassembly—knotted to hold the bags of the assembly close to each otherwith respective holes aligned.
 6. Multiple bags assembly and means tohold the rest of the bags inside the can or stand when the most innerbag is pulled out.
 7. Claim 1 and means to hold the bags of the assemblyaligned together; for example: knotted ribbons through holes in each bagthus forming consequent aligned holes of the assembly.
